On May 15, 2024, the CBA finals kicked off in Beijing, and the Xinjiang team and the Liaoning men's basketball team competed fiercely.
The result was not the only focus, but the referee's blowing caused widespread controversy.
The first is the composition of the referees, the main referee and auxiliary referees of this important match are from South Korea, Lee Kyung-hwan and Park Geun-jin, respectively.
Foreign referee combinations are not uncommon in the CBA, but they have caused many subsequent controversies.
The referee seemed to target Qi Lin of the Xinjiang team in this match.
Throughout the game, Qi Lin can be said to have attracted much attention, but not because of his outstanding performance, but because of the frequent blowing of penalties by the referee.
He was given a full six fouls, a frequency that is simply stunning.
When the sixth foul was awarded, fans couldn't help but complain, thinking that the referee was a little too harsh on Qi Lin.
A netizen posted on social media: "Qi Lin was ruthlessly surrounded and suppressed by the referee, six fouls, this is not a game, it is simply a execution ground!" These words resonated with many fans, and they left messages expressing their dissatisfaction with the referee and Qi Lin's experience.
What's even more incredible is that Qi Lin's sixth foul turned out to be because of a so-called "contact foul" that was blown off.
Many netizens expressed disbelief about this, and some joked: "Is this judge going to be the best performance award in the audience?" That foul was a cinematic performance! The decision sparked an uproar on the pitch, with crowds shouting in protest, but the referee seemed to ignore it and still insisted on his decision.
After Qi Lin was sent off, he became more and more emotional and directly lashed out at the referee.
A fan left a message on social media saying: "Brother Qi Lin is so hard, he can still hold back and not smash the field, this kind of strength is really admirable!" In fact, Qi Lin's reaction also caused some controversy, with some arguing that he was too agitated and should have been calmer in dealing with the referee's decision.
But more netizens expressed their understanding and support, thinking that the referee's decision was too much.
In this regard, some netizens began to discuss the question of whether the referee has subjective bias.
A netizen launched a survey to ask other fans if they were biased by the referees.
The results showed that more than 80% of fans felt that the referee was clearly biased in this match, and most of the blame focused on the decision against Qi Lin.
There were also some voices who expressed understanding and support for the referee's decision.
One netizen believes that the referee is just doing his duty when enforcing the rules of the game and should not be blamed too much.
He said: "The referee's job is not easy and we should trust that their decision is fair. ”
The referee's decision in the first game of the CBA Finals sparked widespread controversy.
Whether it is Qi Lin's frequent penalties or his fierce criticism of the referee, it has become the focus of heated discussions.
The turmoil not only affected the outcome of the game, but also made people re-examine the role and role of referees in the game.
On the other hand, the Liaoning team obviously gained the advantage of free throws in the game, especially in the first half, the Liaoning team made far more free throws than the Xinjiang team.
This situation exacerbated the questioning of the referee's impartiality and made the game even more confusing.
Regarding Qi Lin's fouls, the frequency and manner of his whistles in the game also caused heated discussions.
In particular, the sixth foul was considered an unreasonable penalty and deprived Xinjiang of an important point of attack.
The interaction between the referee and the players also took center stage.
Qi Lin lashed out at the referee verbally, while the referee kept his composure and punished the players for technical fouls when necessary, maintaining order in the game. The final result of this match was affected by the referee's decision.
The Xinjiang team lost important offensive firepower due to Qi Lin being sent off, and the referee's decision also affected the trend of the game at a critical moment, making the game full of controversy and uncertainty.
"He [Qi Lin] is very athletic, and his bounce and explosiveness are among the best among his peers; His offensive approach is comprehensive, and his ability to break, shoot, dominate the ball, and read the game is outstanding. ——Chen Yueze (basketball reporter)
Chen Yueze's evaluation profoundly portrays Qi Lin's outstanding characteristics as a basketball player.
Qi Lin's athleticism and physicality are truly impressive, especially when it comes to bounce and explosiveness, which often leaves opponents feeling helpless.
One netizen posted on social media: "Qi Lin's bounce is like an eagle soaring into the air, dazzling! The metaphor of this image immediately resonated and liked other netizens.
In addition to his excellent physical attributes, Qi Lin's versatility on the offensive end is also the reason why he is highly praised.
His breakthrough ability is unguardable, his shooting skills are superb, he is able to hit key balls consistently in key moments, and he is able to control the pace and direction of the game well.
A netizen left a message on social media: "Qi Lin's offensive skills are so comprehensive that he has nothing to say, whether it is a breakthrough or a shot, he can always find a way out!" This praise expresses the fans' recognition and love for Qilin's excellent skills.
Qi Lin's ability to read the game is also a big advantage for him on the court.
He was able to accurately grasp the rhythm of the game, adjust the strategy in time, and make the right decisions.
A netizen posted on social media: "Qi Lin's basketball wisdom is simply the embodiment of the game, his eyes are six, his ears are heard, and he can always stand up at critical moments!" These words reflect the fans' high recognition of Qi Lin's wisdom and decision-making ability in the game.
Chen's evaluation accurately reveals Qi Lin's excellent qualities as a basketball player.
His athleticism, well-rounded offensive skills, and excellent game reading make him the focal point and key figure on the court.
In the future competitions, I believe that Qi Lin will continue to show outstanding performances and bring more excitement and surprises to the fans!
Despite the setback for Xinjiang in this game, Liaoning's domestic players performed very well.
Fu Hao, Zhang Zhenlin, Fogg, Zhao Jiwei, Han Dejun and other players played well in the game and won a key victory for the Liaoning team.
The referee's decision in the first game of the CBA Finals sparked a huge controversy and had a significant impact on the outcome of the game.
This turmoil will continue to ferment, which will put forward new challenges and reflections on the fairness and professionalism of the CBA arena.
